Seminole State Park

This southwest Georgia park is on beautiful Lake Seminole, a 37,500-acre reservoir known for excellent sport fishing and boating. The lake is shallow, but natural lime sink ponds have left areas of cool, clear water with a variety of fish. The threatened gopher tortoise, Georgia's state reptile, makes its home in the park's long-leaf pine forest. At 437 acres, this stand of trees is the largest group of long-leaf pines in a Georgia state park. A 2.2-mile nature trail interprets this wiregrass community habitat. The park is located near one of Georgia's largest wildlife management areas, providing great duck and deer hunting. Cottages and many campsites are situated on the waters edge, offering excellent lake views.
